A billionaire known as the “Czech Donald Trump” is set to become national leader after his party won a general election by a large margin.

With all the ballots counted, Andrej Babis’s Ano party took 30% of the vote on Friday and Saturday, almost three times the haul of its closest rival, the center-right Civic Democrats, the BBC reported.

5 things to know about Andrej Babis

• The 63-year-old is the second-richest man in the Czech Republic, having made about $4 billion since the end of the Communist era, mainly in the agricultural sector.

He now also owns interests in food and chemicals, as well as large media outlets such as national newspapers and a radio station, according to media reports.

• Babis has been described as the “Czech Trump” for his dislike for the political establishment and his promise to bring change to government. He’s said he plans to “run the state like a business,” USA Today reported, and has vowed to abolish the Czech Senate.

And like Trump, the billionaire politician is keen to “drain the swamp, Czech-style,” in the words of the BBC‘s Rob Cameron in that report. Babis has described Ano’s success as a triumph over the establishment.

• The magnate has had historically close ties with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and has backed a warmer relationship between his country and Moscow; he’s been sharply critical of the European Union; and he’s called for a ban on Muslim immigrants.

• But Babis himself faces several charges ranging from tax fraud to past collusion with communists, all of which he denies, saying the allegations are politically motivated.

Earlier this year, he was ousted from his post as finance minister in the coalition government after being accused of tax fraud. Now he faces another formal fraud charge, this time to do with misuse of a 2 million euro (4.2.36 millon) EU subsidy, according to USA Today.

In vote last month, the Czech parliament stripped Babis of immunity from prosecution over the fraud charges, laying a path for him to be brought to court.

If that wasn’t enough, a high court in Slovakia dealt Babis a setback last week, that report noted. It overtured earlier court decisions that had cleared the businessman of collaboration with the secret police during communist rule.

• Though his party was the clear winner in the general election, it’s not so clear that Babis will become prime minister, as might be expected.

One of the few points of agreement in the fractured legislature is that Babis should be kept out of the post, according to the WSJ report.

Why did Babis win?

An unraveling in the political consensus resulted in nine parties — a record number — winning seats, while the governing Social Democrats were on track for their worst showing since 1993.

Despite a sound economy, many Czech voters have become discontented with the two parties, center-right and center-left, that have dominated national politics. The country has had nine governments in the past 15 years, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

That opened the door to a win for Babis’s anti-corruption, euroskeptic Ano (Yes) movement, and boosted far-right and far-left groups. The turnout was just over 60%.

According to media reports, these are now the largest parties in the Czech parliament:

• Czech Social Democratic Party (CSSD), center-left party previously governing in coalition with Ano, with 7.3%

What happens next

With that fragmented parliament, Babis has a kaleidoscope of eight parties to consider in trying to build a governing coalition. But with as Ano possesses only one-third of the seats in the lower house, it’s something he has no choice but to do if he wants to push his agenda forward.

What will make the task either simpler or harder is that some parties — the conservative TOP and the Pirate Party — have already turned their backs on Ano and are looking to build an opposition bloc instead.

And some party leaders said before the election that Babis’s fraud charges would deter them from joining him in government. Adela Kadlecova, the Civic Democratic Party’s shadow speaker for EU affairs, said she could not imagine her party linking up with Ano, whether Babis becomes prime minister or not.

“I am also of the opinion that a criminally charged politician should not become a prime minister,” she said.
